A QUICK RECAP OF TODAY’S LESSON:
Today, we reviewed the structures and types of sentences in French. Mastering French sentences will arm you with a good foundation for speaking and writing well.
❑ Some thoughts or ideas do not need a complete sentence to be properly conveyed. These are the minor sentences. They can either be a word, a phrase, or a subordinate clause. They do not have a main clause.
❑ Simple sentences contain only one main clause and can either be declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamative.
❑ Compound sentences have at least two main clauses which may or may not be linked by a coordinating conjunction.
❑ Complex sentences have one main clause and one or more subordinate clauses.
❑ Compound-complex sentences have at least two main clauses and at least one subordinateclause.
